The Impact Player rule allows all Indian Premier League teams to make tactical changes according to the situation. Shardul Thakur can do both bat and ball. Mumbai Indians did some good work with the bat, especially from their opener, Ryan Rickelton, who registered a century in this match, but their bowlers did very little to protect the first innings total.
Took everyone by surprise, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya did not ask the all-rounder to deliver a single over. As an impact player, Shardul Thakur did only fielding work. It was some news for the Indian cricket fans. Why did Pandya not utilise Shardul while most of their bowlers were struggling against the Sunrisers Hyderabad batter? It remains a mystery.
SRH batters toyed with the Mumbai Indians' bowlers

Pandya said they did not have enough options in bowling
"I think this season we don't have much of an option, we really need to see what differences we can make. I won't put my bowlers under the bus. I think as an overall unit, we have not been able to do what exactly the Mumbai Indians stand for. We really need to see what all we need to work on and it's fine," the Mumbai Indians captain, Hardik Pandya, said after the match.
